Following the smashing success of their three previous holiday tours, RuPaul’s Drag Race stars BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon are reuniting one more time for their acclaimed The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, and let’s just say it feels so good.
Produced by BenDeLaCreme Presents, the 22-city tour of The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show will run November 23 to December 30 with an entirely new show written by Jinkx & DeLa. Tickets are now available but you’ll want to secure your seat soon while tickets are still available at www.jinkxanddela.com.
“The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show is joyous, hilarious, surrealist, communal, and heartwarming,” DeLa said in a statement. “Nothing makes me feel more connected to the good in the world than the seas of people we get to celebrate the season with night after night--laughing, cheering, and being in our feelings together. I’m so lucky to get to experience that each year, and I hope you all will experience it with us.”
“The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show will take everything you expect from a drag queen variety show, and spin it on its side,” Jinkx echoed in a statement. “It will test the limits of stupidity, while being unexpectedly deep and reflective. We strive for entertainment while always proving that the holidays are for you to celebrate however you want to.”
Jinkx and DeLa take pride in the knowledge the two drag performers also wrote the show by themselves.
“I think it is important that the show is created BY us, so it's decidedly FOR us, and those like us,” Jinkx explained. “So often, queer and drag stories are written by outsiders, and lack an authenticity that queer audiences crave. Creating the show ourselves, from the ground up, ensures that that authenticity is infused in every aspect of the production.”
“Jinkx and I LOVE writing,” DeLa concurred. “We are passionate and have something to say. It comes from the heart. Writing AND performing as a combo is the best way for us to express what drives us as artists and as humans and fortunately, on top of that, people just happen to think we’re very funny.”
